“Nian’er meimei!” Hua Mu Qing looked down the bottomless crevasse and abyss under her feet. Large teardrops trickled down her face, her heart was full of self-blame. She wanted to jump down to save Lan You Nian.
“Are you crazy!?” Lan Mo Xian pulled up Hua Mu Qing and dragged her over to a safe place. Hua Mu Qing leaned on Lan Mo Xian’s shoulder and burst into tears.
“It’s all my fault. If I didn’t have to come to pick oranges, this wouldn’t have happened! If I didn’t want to play, how could Nian’er meimei have fallen down from saving me! I deserve to die!” Hua Mu Qing wailed. She could only watch as the little sister she wanted to protect, the friend she wanted to protect fell down because of her. If something happened to Nian’er meimei, she Hua Mu Qing would not continue on living!
“Mu Qing! Calm down! Nian’er meimei is fine. Ming wang already went down to save her. Little sister will be fine. Mu Qing calm down!” Lan Mo Xian’s heart was painfully worried. The little sister he has always wanted to protect and pamper once again disappeared in front of his eyes, yet he this big brother can’t do anything! But he knew this matter wasn’t Hua Mu Qing’s fault. Seeing Hua Mu Qing’s self-blaming, he didn’t feel good either.
“Right! Nian’er meimei will be fine! I am going to find Nian’er meimei!” Hua Mu Qing anxiously stood up and steadied her emotions. It was Lan Mo Xian’s words that sobered her, or perhaps it was this man’s comfort that made her understand crying was useless.
An Yi and An San were also anxious. They carefully examined the slopes of the cliff that master and Miss Lan rolled down from. Although the mountain slope was dangerous, An Yi And An San understood with their master’s ability nothing will happen to him. They were worried about Miss Lan. Not only did master put Miss Lan in his heart, but they also considered Miss Lan their matriarch from the bottom of their hearts. Miss Lan-a woman-fell first, who knows if something happened…thinking about the seriousness of the matter, An Yi sent out the news to call on wangfu’s other shadow guards. By all means, they must find master and Miss Lan as soon as possible!
Yu Liu Li was also extremely anxious as he followed An Yi and An San walked down the cliff together. Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing also searched together. Every one of them was worried about Lan You Nian. Not that they weren’t concerned about Feng Yi Xuan, they were aware of Feng Yi Xuan’s martial arts and ability. Besides An Yi and An San, they didn’t know Lan You Nian knew martial arts, so naturally were panicked!
“Everyone don’t panic. Since master jumped down, then he will definitely protect Miss Lan!” An Yi looked at the three people’s worried faces, good intentionally tried to persuade them. Master’s heart towards Miss Lan, they-shadow guards-all knew. Based on master’s care for Miss Lan, although they can’t say Miss Lan wouldn’t be hurt the slightest bit, she definitely won’t lose her life.
“I hope Ming wang can lend a helping hand. I Lan Mo Xian will do anything to will repay Ming wang!” Lan Mo Xian led Hua Mu Qing carefully down the mountain slope. He was still worried inside. Although Ming wang treated Nian’er meimei differently from everybody else, even shockingly followed Nian’er meimei by jumping down, but he has been with Ming wang for so many years, Ming wang’s temper was well-known to be unpredictable. Towards women, he won’t give an additional glance. He didn’t know if Ming wang would make an effort to save his little sister.
“Since Yi Xuan jumped down then he will definitely save Miss Lan. Don’t blame yourself too much!” Yu Liu Li can read Lan Mo Xian’s remorseful expression. He was worried himself, but he attempted to say some reassuring words to prevent Lan Mo Xian and Hua Mu Qing from blaming themselves overly much.
The group of people silently prayed as they continued to search ….
Although Feng Yi Xuan’s back wasn’t injured by the cliff, it didn’t affect Feng Yi Xuan’s movement. He held onto Lan You Nian’s small hand as they started to look for a place to rest for the night. After all, it was dangerous to be searching for a path at night. It was better to rest for the night. It was safer to start searching for a road bright and early tomorrow morning.
Feng Yi Xuan, holding Lan You Nian’s hand, found a cave. Borrowing the moonlight, one can see that although the cave was simple and crude, they can manage to rest for a short while. Feng Yi Xuan frowned and picked up Lan You Nian then walked into the cave.
“What are you doing? Put me down!” Lan You Nian was taken by surprise by Feng Yi Xuan’s sudden movement.
“The ground is dirty!” Feng Yi Xuan while holding Lan You Nian walked into the cave. He found a relatively clean spot to put Lan You Nian down, then he found some firewood near the entrance of the cave and masterfully started a fire. The swelling fire illuminated the entire cave, adding a bit of warmth to the cold cave.
“Do you want to take a nap?” Feng Yi Xuan asked, then with blushing ears asked,” The ground is dirty. How about I hug you while you sleep?”
Lan You Nian didn’t think that Feng Yi Xuan was a lustful person. Her current immature body didn’t have anything worth lusting after. But even if Lan You Nian didn’t have any vigilance against Feng Yi Xuan, even as much as she was used to this man, but to sleep in a man’s arms, she was unable to do.
“No need, a night will pass by soon!” Lan You Nian sat next to the fire pit, stoking the fire. The flickering flame contrasted against Lan You Nian’s unearthly face, adding a trace of warmth to it.
“Wu, if you’re sleepy, just tell me!” Feng Yi Xuan didn’t argue. He was terrified that he will screw up the relationship that has finally improved. Taking off his outer robes and draping it on Lan You Nian, he was only left with a thin inner robe as he sat beside Lan You Nian.
“The snow mountain is cold at night. You wear it, I’m not cold!” In the first place, Lan You Nian wore much more than Feng Yi Xuan so now sitting beside the firepit, she truly didn’t feel any cold.
“I heard that a girl’s body is a little weaker and can’t stand the cold. You wear it!” Feng Yi Xuan said with a rare smile, but it was apparent that the tone in his words did not allow to be rejected. Lan You Nian wasn’t ignorant of what’s good for her, so obediently wore the clothes as they waited for the arrival of dawn.
After an entire day of playing, Lan You Nian fell asleep against the cold cave walls. Even she didn’t expect she would fall asleep in such an unsafe environment. Perhaps because of the man beside her, she felt safe so she can sleep without any reservation.
Feng Yi Xuan looked at the girl who seemed to be a little tired as she leaned against the wall and fell asleep. He carefully shifted her to lean against his broad shoulders while his arms cradled the girl in his arms, continually warming the cold body of the girl. Lan You Nian seemed to have found a more comfortable sleeping position, so her furrowed brows relaxed, even slightly leaned into Feng Yi Xuan’s arms, seeming to be very greedy for the warmth of Feng Yi Xuan’s body. Feng Yi Xuan looked at the girl’s cute appearance in his arms and her adorable dependence on him, his expression impossibly soft and tender. His arms tightly cradled the girl, afraid that the girl in his arms will disappear.
Lan You Nian vaguely felt safe. It seemed that if the sky collapsed, there would still be someone who will bear it up for her. She unconsciously leaned closer to the warmth. With no nightmares to disturb her sleep, she slept very peacefully. But halfway through the night, Lan You Nian’s forehead started to sweat, and her complexion became deathly pale.
Feng Yi Xuan fell into a daze as he watched Lan You Nian sleeping in his arms. Later, whether it was because of the soft fragrance in his arms or something else, Feng Yi Xuan dozed off while sitting up. Halfway through the night, he noticed Nian Nian’s body become colder in his arms. He became wide awake in an instant. He carefully looked over Nian Nian who hasn’t woke up yet. Feng Yi Xuan was anxious. Not to mention that Nian Nian suddenly started to sweat cold sword, her complexion was quite pale. What made Feng Yi Xuan even more worried was that he can clearly feel the slight tremor in Nian Nian’s body. Why are there tremors? Either it was cold, or it hurts!
“Nian Nian?” Feng Yi Xuan’s voice called softly.
Lan You Nian felt her entire body was chilled to the bone. Her lower abdomen hurt. This kind of pain was not like the pain she experienced every month. Lan You Nian knew the time for the poison to awaken this month hasn’t arrived yet. Since it wasn’t the poison why does it hurt? Her abdomen felt so painful, the kind of pain that seemed as if people were tearing open her stomach. It made Lan You Nian curl up in discomfort. A soft voice suddenly drifted into her ear. Lan You Nian struggled to open her eyes.
Coming into view of Lan You Nian’s eyes was the worry in Feng Yi Xuan’s concerned eyes. She was currently being held in this man’s arms. Lan You Nian did not reject this embrace. Her current body temperature was too cold, and her body felt uncomfortable. Besides, she trusted Feng Yi Xuan.
“What’s wrong? Tell me what’s wrong? Nian Nian….” Feng Yi Xuan seeing Nian Nian finally opened her eyes asked immediately. He hated he couldn’t find a doctor right now. At this moment, Feng Yi Xuan really hated himself for not learning medical skills. He could only helplessly watch as Nian Nian got sick, but he didn’t understand anything.
Lan You Nian only snuggled into Feng Yi Xuan’s arms without saying anything. Even she didn’t know what’s wrong with her. Although she learned medicine with Gui Yi Zi, what she learned most was martial arts. Her medical skills weren’t that good, though based on her qualifications if she studied hard, she can surpass Gui Yi.
Just as Lan You Nian felt the pain in her lower abdomen was unbearable, Lan You Nian’s entire body stiffened, as if experiencing something horrifying. Feng Yi Xuan who was holding Lan You Nian instantly sensed the stiffness of Nian Nian’s body, his heart aching as he asked, “Nian Nian, where does it hurt?”
The warm flow from under her made Lan You Nian aware of just what exactly happened. Her menses came for the first time. It came in such an awkward situation. Because of being buried in the snow for several days, the foundation of her body was already frozen. The coming of a woman’s menses was a curse to her. Her abdominal pain made Lan You Nian unable to get up.
Feng Yi Xuan’s sensitive nose detected the smell of blood. He was filled with worry, but he didn’t know what to do. He kept murmuring, “Nian Nian, are you hurt anywhere?” Feng Yi Xuan even picked Lan You Nian up to look for a wound.
Lan You Nian’s trembling body shook even more. It wasn’t from pain but from anger. She didn’t expect the great and noble Ming wang to be anxiously searching for a wound to put ointment on it when her menses have arrived. Is there anything more thunderous than this? Lan You Nian really wanted to give Feng Yi Xuan a slap, but she really didn’t have the strength.
“Nian Nian?” Feng Yi Xuan spotted the blood on the hem of Lan You Nian’s dress. His own clothes were also covered with blood. He worriedly called her, his voice trembled with fear.
“I’m fine!” Lan You Nian’s face was red. She really didn’t know how to explain to Feng Yi Xuan. She was even more embarrassed by the blood on Feng Yi Xuan’s clothes. Lan You Nian wanted to faint.
“How can you be okay? You’re bleeding!” Feng Yi Xuan raised his voice slightly. Saying this, he was ready to take off Lan You Nian’s pants, “Is it from falling down that you’re injured somewhere? Don’t worry, I won’t look around. I just want to see your injuries!”
Lan You Nian held tightly to her dress, screaming angrily, “My menses have come!”
